Deepstar Lake. There were countless tiny ice crystals in the clear blue lake water. The boat leisurely rowed past, and the ripples on the surface of the water reflected specks of light under the sunlight. It was exceptionally beautiful.
Jiang Yueyi felt that the lake water was very beautiful. She reached into the water and grabbed at it. However, the ice crystals were very tiny and would melt very quickly.
She studied them for a while but could not figure out what they were.
Yan Feihong explained in amusement, "These ice crystals are formed from something special in the lake water. They will evaporate quickly after leaving the water. The ice crystals can absorb sunlight. When the sun sets, the billions of ice crystals in the lake will shine like the stars in the sky. That's why it's called Deepstar Lake … "
Jiang Yueyi nodded. "I've heard of Deepstar Lake in Swallow Fort. It's said to be the most beautiful place in Fire Nation. Sister Feihong, let's stay here and enjoy the scenery tonight! "
She looked at Yan Feihong with a pitiful expression, trying to gain her sympathy.
Yan Feihong was unmoved. "Senior Aunt Xiao Yi, we agreed before we came that we'd go back after a while."
"This is Deepstar Lake! I'm not going back! I'm not going back!"
Although Jiang Yueyi was already in her twenties, she had always been by Yan Shisan's side. Her temper was similar to that of a teenager. She began to throw a tantrum after failing to act cute.
Yan Feihong did not know whether to laugh or cry. She could not reprimand Jiang Yueyi and could only comfort her gently, "Deepstar Lake is very crowded at night. It's easy to get into trouble here. Grandmaster also told us not to go far and not to stay outside for too long. "
Jiang Yueyi pouted unhappily. "It's not far from here. We're still in Fire City. We'll just stay until night and go back before midnight … "
"No. Senior Aunt Xiao Yi, I have to be responsible for your safety. "
Yan Feihong said seriously, "All the heroes of the world are gathered here. The situation is too complicated. We can't wander around outside."
Jiang Yueyi said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? They're all here to suck up to Brother Gao. Who would dare to cause trouble?"
"It's not that simple …"
Yan Feihong had personally experienced the turmoil in Fire Nation. Gao Zhengyang had even used her to kill a Fire Nation prince. She knew how complicated and dangerous the situation in Ming Nation was.
Only a naive person like Jiang Yueyi would think that this was a grand gathering of heroes. In reality, many people could feel the pressure of a storm brewing in Flame City.
Yan Feihong had stayed in Flame City for a period of time, so she could sense the tense atmosphere hidden here. The streets were filled with patrols and secret agents. The elemental energy rippling in the air was filled with a burning aura.
Under such circumstances, Yan Feihong did not dare to run around with Jiang Yueyi.
She said, "The heroes of the world may not all submit to Sect Leader Gao. No one knew what would happen during this ceremony. Martial Aunt Xiao Yi, let's return early. "
Just as Jiang Yueyi was about to speak, her eyes suddenly moved. She saw a ship chasing after them at high speed.
She had already reached the Heaven Rank, so she could see the red-robed Huo Wuyuan from afar. She could even see the sinister grin on his face.
Jiang Yueyi was not angry. Instead, she was happy. She did not want to go back. It was good that they came. She hurriedly said, "Sister Feihong, that wastrel has caught up."
Yan Feihong's back was facing the back, and the distance between the two boats was quite far. Naturally, she did not know what was going on behind her. He turned around and recognized Huo Wuyuan as well.
She could not help but frown, and her eyes turned cold. It was not a big deal for Huo Wuyuan to strike up a conversation on the street. But since he failed to strike up a conversation, he followed. This showed that he was up to no good.
Looking at his clothes and mannerisms, he seemed to have some power. Yan Feihong was not afraid, but she did not want to cause trouble. Revealing her identity as a Heaven Rank probably would not be enough to intimidate the other party.
The epoch changed, and the elemental energy of heaven and earth changed. Cultivation had also become much easier than before. Those with a bit of talent could quickly learn the basics.
Although Heaven Rank was a huge threshold, the number of Heaven Rank experts had increased greatly in the past few years. There were actually two Heaven Rank experts in that group.
If it was any other place, Yan Feihong could fly away with Jiang Yueyi. But in Flame City, all power above Heaven Rank would be suppressed. Even a Sage might not be able to resist the city's protective formation.
There was nowhere to hide on the vast Star Sinking Lake.
Jiang Yueyi suggested, "Let's hide on Star Gazing Island. They won't be able to find us in such a big place. "
Yan Feihong rolled her eyes at Jiang Yueyi. "Martial Aunt Xiao Yi, it's as you wish …"
Jiang Yueyi looked innocent. "What does it have to do with me? I didn't call them."
She paused, then pouted. "If it's up to me, I'll kill them all."
"Martial Aunt Xiao Yi, I beg you."
Yan Feihong begged. "Let's not cause trouble."
Jiang Yueyi nodded. "No trouble, no trouble. I'll listen to you. Let's take this opportunity to walk around the island. "
"Alright, but we can't stay until night."
Yan Feihong gave in, but she would definitely not bring Jiang Yueyi to spend the night on the island.
Jiang Yueyi rolled her eyes, but did not say anything else. The two sped up and soon arrived at Star Gazing Island.
Star Gazing Island was hundreds of acres wide, with lush forests. There was a hill on the east shore, and a pavilion was built on the peak.
The two saw the pavilion from afar as soon as they got on the island. Jiang Yueyi pointed at the pavilion. "Let's go there and take a look …"
"We'll definitely be seen by those people if we go up. Let's avoid them first. "
Yan Feihong obviously could not let Jiang Yueyi go up. She reached out to pull her. Jiang Yueyi chuckled and flew toward the stargazing pavilion in a flash.
Although the formation restricted her vital energy, Jiang Yueyi's body was light and agile.
Although Yan Feihong's cultivation was higher than Jiang Yueyi's, her qinggong was far behind. Although she tried her best to catch up, she could not catch up.
Seeing that they were about to go up the mountain, Yan Feihong said anxiously, "Martial Aunt Xiao Yi, don't go up, I beg you …"
Jiang Yueyi giggled. "I can't even beg. I'm going up."
Yan Feihong could not stop Jiang Yueyi, so she could only follow behind.
Jiang Yueyi heard the melodious sound of a flute as soon as she reached the middle of the mountain.
She could not help but stop. For some reason, the sound of the flute was very familiar.
While Jiang Yueyi was in a daze, Yan Feihong used her vital energy to speed up and grabbed Jiang Yueyi's hand.
"Martial Aunt Xiao Yi, let's go down first …"
Jiang Yueyi looked at Yan Feihong. "The sound of the flute is very familiar. It must be someone I know."
Jiang Yueyi's serious look made it difficult for Yan Feihong to persuade her. She just did not want to cause trouble, not because she was afraid of it. Since Jiang Yueyi had business to attend to, she could not really stop her.
The mountain was not high. The two turned a corner and saw the stone pavilion at the top of the mountain.
Through the gaps between the leaves, they could faintly see a lonely and elegant figure in the pavilion.
Although they could not see the person's face, they could see her snow-white hair. Yan Feihong instinctively felt that it was a woman. And a beauty.
Jiang Yueyi had a strange expression on her face. She seemed to really know the person. This made Yan Feihong very curious.
"Martial Aunt Xiao Yi, do you really know her?"
Jiang Yueyi shook her head and did not say anything. She quickly walked into the stone pavilion and stood behind the woman.
The woman only cared about playing the flute. She did not seem to notice the people behind her, nor did she seem to care. The clear and ethereal sound of the flute was like the babbling of a mountain spring, like the wind blowing through a bamboo forest. It was quiet and indifferent, empty and distant.
In her trance, she seemed to see a person walking alone in the vast world, accompanied only by a shadow.
Yan Feihong was proficient in music and could be called a master. But when she heard the woman's flute, she could not help but feel inferior.
Music was the voice of the heart. The woman used the simplest tune to express the endless loneliness of the human heart. It was sad but not sad, sorrowful but not resentful. There was a sense of freedom in the loneliness.
Such a scene, such a concept, was profound and extraordinary, far surpassing all the musicians in the world.
Unknowingly, Yan Feihong was already immersed in the sound of the flute. She forgot about Jiang Yueyi and the pursuers behind her. She did not even notice that the flute had stopped.
Jiang Yueyi, on the other hand, did not have such a deep understanding of music, nor did she have so many insights into life. She quickly came to her senses and called out tentatively, "Sister Liu?"
The white-haired woman slowly turned around. Her face was bright and beautiful, but her eyes were still and calm, making her look unusually old.
She looked at Jiang Yueyi, a look of reminiscence on her face.
The white-haired woman did not recognize Jiang Yueyi, but Jiang Yueyi recognized her. Back when they had traveled together, she had a deep impression of the silly Liu Qingge.
"I'm Jiang Yueyi. Ten years ago in Jiujiang City, we followed Brother Gao together …"
Jiang Yueyi pointed at her face and said happily, "I'm all grown up now. Sister Liu might not recognize me."
Liu Qingge's eyes moved. She nodded slightly but did not say anything.
Ever since she parted ways with Gao Zhengyang in the South Sea, she had not spoken.
The secret techniques of the Demonic Path were extreme and fierce. The Heavenly Tome of Love was the supreme secret technique of the Demonic Path, and it talked about feelings and emotions.
Liu Qingge treated Gao Zhengyang as her most beloved. She cultivated the Heavenly Tome of Love, and after more than ten years of cultivation, her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. She had long since reached the peak of the ninth rank.
She had come to Flame City this time to see Gao Zhengyang and break through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Tome of Love.
However, cultivating the Heavenly Tome of Love had also allowed her to abandon all other emotions. She could not help but look a little sluggish and sluggish.
Although she recognized Jiang Yueyi, she was not interested in talking. She blinked her eyes as a greeting.
Jiang Yueyi had long known that Liu Qingge's mind was not normal, but she did not care. She said with a smile, "Sister Liu, you're also here to see Brother Gao, right? When the time comes, let's go see him together, okay? "
Liu Qingge thought about it for a moment, then nodded imperceptibly, expressing her agreement.
Jiang Yueyi was very excited. Just as she was about to have a good chat with Liu Qingge, Huo Wuyuan's group arrived.
"Haha, two beauties, we meet again …"
Huo Wuyuan waved his fan and pretended to be cool. His face was full of uncontrollable smugness and lust. Although he was good-looking, he made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked at him.
Yan Feihong, who was immersed in the sound of the flute, was also startled awake. She walked up a few steps and said coldly, "We don't want to cause trouble. Hurry up and leave."
Huo Wuyuan closed his fan and waved it at Yan Feihong. "Why should I leave? This is our Huo Family, I can do whatever I want."
Yan Feihong suppressed her anger and said, "We're from Swallow Dock."
"Isn't Swallow Dock just a bunch of people who sell their bodies …"
Huo Wuyuan interrupted Yan Feihong and pointed at her with his fan. "If you've had fun with me today, I'll let you stay."
Yan Feihong could not understand where Huo Wuyuan got his confidence to be so arrogant. She hated these kinds of good-for-nothings who used their power to bully others the most. A hint of killing intent appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Yueyi couldn't help but say, "Gao Zhengyang is my big brother. If you don't want to die, hurry up and scram!"
Fear flashed across Huo Wuyuan's face when he heard Gao Zhengyang's name. No matter how arrogant he was, he would never dare to provoke anyone who had a relationship with Gao Zhengyang.
Jiang Yueyi smiled disdainfully. He wanted to be a bad guy with such little guts!
One of the middle-aged attendants whispered in Huo Wuyuan's ear, "How could this woman possibly know Gao Zhengyang? Don't be afraid, if worst comes to worst, we'll just kill them all! "
The middle-aged attendant's words seemed to contain a strange power. Huo Wuyuan fell into a daze, and his mind was occupied by the desire in his heart. All he could see were a few beautiful women and nothing else.
